John 3:14-21 Brief Reflection: God’s mercy and love, made clear in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, overcame our sins and transgressions.

All Catholics 14 years and older must abstain from meat on the Fridays of Lent and Good Friday. All healthy Catholics between ages 18 and 59 are to fast on Good Friday. To fast means to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may also be taken for good health but together they should not equal a full meal. Eating between meals is not per-mitted; however, liquids including coffee, milk and fruit juic-es are allowed.

On Palm Sunday, March 25, the Church cele-brates Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem to ac-complish his paschal mystery. The memorial of this event is to be included in every Mass. The Ro-man Missal provides three forms for this: the Proces-sion (before the principal Mass), the Solemn Entrance (before other well-attended Masses), and the Simple Entrance. If the Procession cannot be held, the Sol-emn Entrance may be used before the principal Mass. The Roman Missal should be studied carefully as ministers, planners and musicians prepare the liturgy.

The total cost of fixing the system (mounting antennas, new ear set and labor) is approximately $3130. Cascade Sound of Salem is providing this service.

CUARTO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA 2 Crónicas 36:14-16, 19-23, Efesios 2:4-10

Juan 3:14-21 Breve Reflexión: La misericordia y el amor de Dios, que se hicieron claros en la vida, la muerte y la resu-rrección de Jesús, vencieron nuestros pecados y trans-gresiones. Dios no nos ama condicionalmente, o a pesar de nues-tros pecados, sino más bien porque él nos creó, y él es amor. Su misericordia y compasión son las de un Pa-dre amoroso.

Ponte a prueba este año e ir más allá de la práctica habitu-al de "abandonar" algo. Ahora es un buen momento para hacer un balance de su vida espiritual y crecer en ella. ¿No estás seguro por dónde empezar? Vea estas ideas: 1. Comprométase a leer las Escrituras dominicales (usccb.org/readings) antes de ir a Misa. De la misma manera que conocer a los jugadores de fútbol o balonces-to, equipos opuestos y estrategias de entrenamiento, te ayudarán a experimentar un juego más plenamente, famil-iarizándote con las lecturas con anticipación te ayudará a experimentarlas de una manera más profunda el domingo. 2. Piense en lo que gasta su dinero. ¿Compras demasiada ropa? ¿Gastar demasiado en la cena? ¿En las bebidas? Elija un tipo de gasto del que saldrá "rápido" durante la Cuaresma, y luego dé el dinero que normalmente gastaría a una organización de beneficencia local como el banco de alimentos. 3. Tome algo en: 40 días de escritura de cartas, 40 actos de bondad, 40 llamadas telefónicas a las personas im-portantes en su vida. 4. Vaya a una Misa entre semana un día durante la sema-na. Muchas parroquias los ofrecen temprano en la maña-na, al mediodía o después del trabajo. Las misas entre semana suelen ser más íntimas y más cortas que la misa dominical. La conclusión de la Cuaresma La Cuaresma termina cu-ando la Iglesia comienza la Misa de la Cena del Señor en la noche del Jueves Santo. Esa liturgia es el primer mo-mento del Triduo Pascual.

Todos los católicos de 14 años en adelante deben abstenerse de comer carne los viernes de Cuaresma y el Viernes Santo. Todos los católicos saludables entre las edades de 18 y 59 años deben ayunar el Viernes Santo. Ayunar significa comer una comida completa. También se pueden tomar dos comidas más pequeñas para una buena salud, pero juntas no deberían ser igual a una comida com-pleta. Comer entre comidas no está permitido; sin embargo, se per-miten líquidos que incluyen café, leche y jugos de fruta.

Servicios de Penitencia de Cuaresma a las 7 pm dentro del vicariato del condado de Marion: St Patrick, Canby, martes, 13 de marzo, St Luke, Woodburn, martes, 20 de marzo, St Mary, Mt Angel, también martes, 20 de marzo

Clase de Jóvenes Domingo 18 de marzo 11:15 am-12:30 pm

La semana pasada, los 2 Electos recibieron nuestro Credo. En los primeros siglos de nuestra Iglesia, los Concilios Ecuménicos desar-rollaron el Credo para aclarar lo que creemos acerca de Dios y para defender esas creencias contra el malentendido o la herejía. Con-tinúen orando por los catecúmenos, Ami Moreno, y Mario Cabrera, que han estado creciendo su fe durante meses, mientras se preparan para recibir los Sacramentos de Iniciación en la Vigilia Pascual. Los candidatos: Carina Martínez, Denise Martínez, Magaly Martínez, José Martínez, Edwin Martínez, Amalia Moreno recibirán la confir-mación en mayo en San José en Salem. por favor, guarda sus nom-bres y ora por ellos durante toda la Cuaresma.

IMPORTANTE: Si necesita una misa por favor llame a la oficina al (503)792-4231 con 2 o 3 semanas de anticipacion. Muchas gracias!

A note of thanks to all the families of Sacred Heart-St. Louis Parish that pledged their financial support to Mater Dei Radio. We were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response given by the people of your parish. During the week-end presentations 107 families filled out pledge cards totaling $9,672. When you add the $5,000 matching gift, the total support from your parish family comes to a very generous $14,672. This goes a long way in help-ing us to achieve our goal of $1.8-million to cover the costs associated with building our media center, which will bring more souls closer to Christ. Thank you, again, for your prayers and support. God Bless You!

The Liturgies of the Easter Triduum The evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper should be celebrated at the most suitable evening hour. There may be a liturgy on Thursday morning only “for those who are in no way able to take part in the evening Mass.” This would discourage school Masses, but it would be appropriate for children to take part in other services marking the end of Lent and the approach of the Triduum. It would be appropriate to pray Morning Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours. Thus the ideal is a single Holy Thursday Mass in a parish, and only the inability of the space to accommodate those who wish to attend should suggest the possibility of a second Mass. In no way should the scheduling of a second liturgy cause either liturgy to be rushed. The private offering of any Mass is strictly forbidden. If the washing of the feet or mandatum is celebrated, this rite should be characterized by its simplicity, allowing the powerful gesture of the servant Christ to model for us the charity and humility required of all Christ’s disciples. It is not necessary that the number of persons whose feet are washed be twelve. Ministers should strive to carry out the mandatum reverently and graciously and avoid other rites and statements of commitment which are inappropriate at the liturgy of Holy Thursday. The renewal of priestly commitment from the Chrism Mass is not to be used at the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, nor should there be any attempt to imitate the Jewish Seder on Holy Thursday or, in fact, on any other occasion. Teaching about the Passover supper is more appropriately done by a Jew. The Roman Missal instructs that the collection of gifts and money today be for the poor. The tabernacle should be empty before the liturgy today. Enough bread should be consecrated at this Mass for com-munion today and tomorrow. Though Holy Communion may be brought to the sick today, communion may be distrib-uted at the church itself only within the Mass. Communion under both kinds is strongly encouraged. This calls for care in planning whenever it is done. There should be a sufficient number of communion ministers, carefully practiced, so that it can be done with great dignity. Following the prayer after Communion, the Blessed Sacrament is transferred to the place of reposition. This may be the usual tabernacle if it is in an area removed from the sanctuary. The rite for this procession is described in the Roman Missal. “The faithful should be encouraged to continue adoration before the Blessed Sacrament for a suitable period of time during the night, according to local circumstances, but there should be no solemn adoration after midnight.” (Roman Missal) In fact, the nature of the Triduum before the Easter Vigil is that of prayer and vigil and anticipation. Fasting is one expression of this. Another is private and communal prayer. Thus even after the formal period of adoration on Thursday night, the faithful may be invited to come at any and all hours to watch and pray between Thursday’s liturgy and the Easter Vigil.

The Conclusion of Lent Lent ends as the Church begins the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday night. That liturgy is the first moment of the Paschal Triduum.

Events around the area . . .

Challenge yourself this year, and go beyond the usual practice of "giving up" something. Now is a great time to take stock of your spiritual life and to grow in it. Not sure where to start? Check out these ideas: 1. Make a commitment to read the Sunday scriptures (usccb.org/readings) before you go to Mass. In the same way that reading up on football or basketball players, opposing teams, and coaching strategies will help you experience a game more fully, familiarizing yourself with the readings ahead of time will help you experience them in a deeper way on Sunday. 2. Think about what you spend your money on. Do you buy too many clothes? Spend too much on dinner out? On drinks ? Pick one type of expenditure that you'll "fast" from during Lent, and then give the money you would usually spend to a local charity like the food bank. 3. Take something on - 40 days of letter writing, 40 acts of kindness, 40 phone calls to the important people in your life. 4. Go to a weekday Mass one day during the week. Many parishes offer them early in the morning, at noon, or after work. Daily Masses are often more intimate and shorter than Sunday Mass.

Use your CRS Rice Bowl and Lenten Calendar daily to guide your Lenten prayer, fasting and almsgiving. As a family, read the Stories of Hope and daily reflections to inspire your Lenten journey—and guide your Lenten almsgiving. Prepare simple meatless meals on Fridays throughout Lent, in solidarity with our brothers and sisters around the world.
